Not sure which files you need? Follow the installation guide.

A modern, feature-rich tile map editor built as a replacement for RPG Maker XP's game editor, with upgraded features and quality-of-life improvements. It reads and writes .rxdata files directly, so existing projects work without conversion — plus dockable panels, multi-tile brushes, per-tile properties, unlimited extended layers, multi-tileset support, unlimited autotiles, a built-in shadow system, a full event editor, an in-editor game simulator, and a JavaScript mod system.

Download

Use the direct-download buttons at the top of this page, or get any build (current or previous) from the Releases page — Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon), and Linux. Windows and macOS auto-update; on Linux use Gear Lever for auto-updates. Step-by-step instructions: installation guide.

Note

The installers are not code-signed yet, so your OS shows a one-time warning on install:

• Windows — SmartScreen says "Windows protected your PC". Click More info → Run anyway.
• macOS — Gatekeeper blocks the first launch. Right-click the app and choose Open, or on macOS 15+ go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
• Linux — no warning, but the AppImage uses your system's WebKit: if the app doesn't start, install webkit2gtk-4.1 and gtk3 (Arch) or libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 and libgtk-3-0 (Debian/Ubuntu). The AppImage does not self-update — use Gear Lever to manage updates (it can auto-update AppImages from GitHub releases).

Mods

Maker Studio is extensible via JavaScript mods. Discover and install community mods from the in-app Marketplace, or write your own — see the maker-studio-mods registry for the mod API reference, tutorials, and publishing guide.

Integrations

To use Maker Studio with a game, install the matching engine-side plugin from Integrations/ (e.g. La Base de Sky), then download the editor app above. Every integration is also published as a .zip in a Maker Studio Integrations vX.Y.Z release per app version — the plugin buttons at the top download the current one. See the installation guide for step-by-step instructions.
